You want some good news? Around £1m of Tottenham’s money for Victor Wanyama will find its way to Celtic, which will offset some of the economic impact of this morning’s news. This aside, there is only bad news. If we want to buy footballers priced in euros (or anything other than GPB) they will cost more money. We will also have to pay higher wages to be competitive with European clubs.
Goods will cost more – it will start today with fuel and travel, then food, electrical goods and everything else. Wages will buy less (not just less-able footballers). Borrowing repayments will be higher. Business expenditure, wages and employment will drop, so will the tax take – and money available for welfare spend. The poor always pay the highest penalty.
If you are rich enough and without a mortgage you can indulge in flag waving all day, happy in a delusion that self-determination even remotely exists in modern economies. Or that more self-determination over here, and a little less over there, is a panacea. It’s not, it’s just another economic crisis coming your way soon.
The entire political class have failed us. Calling a flag waving referendum was a grubby attempt to hold onto power by the prime minister; this mess is his making. Whoever succeeds him will have to successfully pander to the same party membership in order to get elected.
Jeremy Corbyn’s mealie-mouthed campaigning was an embarrassment. His “7 out of 10” backing for remain did what it was supposed to do: convince people he was going through the motions for something he didn’t believe in.
Who’s ever heard of a leader winning support for an issue he is prepared to back 7 out of 10 himself? He should go, but political ego will ensure he’ll hang around to make sure Johnson wins the next general election.
It took six days for the Greek government to abandon their own disastrous EU referendum mandate. Instead of attempting a rescue, all our political ‘leaders’ will give us is more populist power grabs. It’s already underway.

The_Huddle –
Yes, the 6-2 game obviously, and the Amsterdam Arena CL play-off stand out. But however long his resurgence lasted, he was like a completely new player.
Not been online since Ireland beat Italy the other night so devastated to read of Macanbheatha’s sad passing.

TET –
Agreed.
I think Commons should have been hunted after his antics in Molde where he took advantage of the deteriorating relationship between Ronny and the support, and started playing to the gallery.
He didn’t try a leg for Ronny after that.
Brendan will be aware of that incident and it will be interesting to see how he uses Commons in the months ahead, if at all.
Well we are about to find out if the BR hype was all about him and not
budgets like it’s been since we moved into the slow lane.
I know I what I think it’ll be?
There is no evidence there will be a seismic change in the calibre of player we bring in, and if reports that we’re hanging on to ‘Wee Jamesie’ it’s more of same old, same old.
Nothing much ever happens during major tourney’s and it’ll be weeks before we take shape.
above was directed to TET
Lafferty is a loathsome cheating bassa!
Lafferty, once a diving cheating Hun, always a diving cheating Hun
Stop Bale = stop Wales

No me mhate I’m 6 foot 1……and a half :O) midget of the crew.hh
Dembele would be an unbelievable buy on a bosman.
17 goals in the championship at 19, wow.
The type of transfer you can’t lose, hopeful, but realistically can’t see it.
Bale just completed a Lafferty with pike
Off to my birthday bash – looking forward to horlicks and slippers when I get back before 10

I said a week or so ago that I thot he was just an upgrade on Ronny and that the transfer policy won’t change, I stand by that.
Just can’t see us splashing out, we might weigh in if we get to the CL groups, but it won’t be to what seem to think it will be.
I posted a youtube vid a few times of BR on Sky talking about the committee at Lpool, he will work to to the same criteria at Celtic imo.

Good to see the lads from Niron and Wales showing Europe how real football is played.
First side to string three passes in succession will be awarded this game.
Ramsey getting plenty of ball, could be the key man. Wales need to get Bale further up the pitch and more central.
Gene
Feliz Cumpleanos.

Straight or bendy bananas.
That was it I think.
I voted for bendy but lots think straight are better.
Now we are looking at a vote on Rolls or Baps again and it’s gotta be Rolls.
